Adam Silver said the NBA investigation into Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers over alleged salary-cap circumvention must be completed before the start of next season. The commissioner added that he remains hopeful the process can be wrapped up this summer.<\/p>\n
The league hired Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz to investigate allegations tied to Leonard\u2019s $28 million endorsement deal with Aspiration, the now-bankrupt company that also had a $300 million commercial agreement with the Clippers. Silver said the final report is not yet complete.<\/p>\n
Silver also clarified that the NBA did not block the reported trade that would have sent Leonard back to the Toronto Raptors. \u201cThe league did not pause the trade,\u201d he said, explaining that the teams involved chose not to move forward while the investigation remains open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
